Description

Copies selected parameters from one open CATPart to another via a GUI dialog. The source and destination parts are chosen from dropdowns listing all currently open CATPart documents. After loading the source part's parameters, individual parameters are selected via a checklist and copied into the destination part. If a parameter with the same name already exists in the destination it is updated; otherwise a new parameter is created.

Notes

• Only user-readable parameters are shown (design parameters, not internal CATIA system parameters)
• If a parameter already exists in the destination part, its value is updated in place
• New parameters created in the destination are typed as real (floating-point) or string based on the source value
• Relations and formulas are not copied — only the current value
• The destination part is updated (recalculated) after all parameters are applied
• Source and destination must be different parts
